I was also on 4.1.2 Yakju and flashed (dirty) the 4.2 Takju factory image with no problem at all.
I don't know if this is relevant but did you do a wipe flash, dirty flash or the Nanroid method?
First of all, flash your phone using the oldest stock Takju build on the factory image page using the following method (replace the names with the ones from your build):

For update to 4.1.2 without losing any userdata or Apps do following:
Download "takju-jzo54k-factory-92830c0b.tgz" and unpack it.
Edit "flash-all.bat" with Text Editor and remove "-w" from it.
Delete "userdata.img" from "image-takju-jzo54k.zip".
Put phone in fastboot modus and then run "flash-all.bat".

I'm assuming you lost the IMEI, because you were running a manually unlocked phone.
UPDATE: This guy had the same problem as you did! Watch this video, if it helps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QtBK5JUvmY

The video has nothing to do with OS upgrades and has everything to do with the DoCoMo (SC-04D) version of the GNex which is carrier-locked.
I think my imei changed too... Can someone explain why everyone is scared of that? I just don't know ^^'

Actually I've found that my factory directory was empty so gnex trough boot gat generic IMEI at data/radio/nv_data.bin.
After that I've found that I have seen backup made trough twrp recovery and from data.win file I've extract only nv_data.bin and md5 file. Then I've put it in directory factory and delete the old ones at data/radio/. Correct the perrmisions and reboot the phone. It takes data files from factory directory and copy itself to data/radio. Then everithing is fine I get my real IMEI. But I've found that I don't have so many files at factory directory and start another tread with that - how to restore that files? If someone knows let's explain.

Hi
My phone is rooted and I have the OTA update of JB 4.1 installed . Today i got an System Update from Google and when i clicked restart and install , my phone rebooted in recovery mode of ClockworkMod, then i saw that the update has failed .
I restarted my phone and when i saw that version it is 4.1 and when i selected check for update is says my phone is up to date ?
Please let me know how can i get the update from google now ?
Thanks
??
Manually flash the OTA in the release section. You have to be on stock everything (with the exception of root and an unlocked bootloader) for the OTA to succeed i.e. you will need to have a stock recovery which by seeing that you booted into CWR, you don't have. You can simply boot into CWR rather than flash it e.g. fastboot boot NAME_OF_RECOVERY.img

Relating to flashing the stock recovery? Well you have to be on ICS to update to JB...and assuming your bootloader is already unlocked, you shouldn't lose any data when flashing the stock recovery, radio or bootloader.
I am already on JB. I got via rom from here (xda). So i will need to go back to ics. Is that it?

Hi,
I got the same problem even if I am on a XXLA2 radio. But I can't flash any ROM (OTA or not) and cannot unroot (I gess it might cause the flashing issue).
Any idea? I feel all alone on the web with this problem noone seems to have...
i had the same thing with 4.0.4 ( i dont remember what version). i had that version with bugs but thats wasnt problem . then i got 4.0.4 update about 908kb but i couldnt install that because very time failed with ( android with red exclamation mark.)
after that i flashed 4.0.4 stock from this tread. very very good guide

yeas, it's works perfectly
If you have busy box installed like most people who are rooted it will screw your system files so you can't update properly an you will keep getting the install aborted message, just permanently flash system image from 4.0.4 stock using fast boot or toolkit before installing jellybean.If you want cwm an stock recovery keeps flashing itself back after each reboot you get that dead android screen when trying to boot into recovery ,you have to go to system/ect location in phone an rename the install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.bak using root explorer or whatever an reflash cwm again, I had that problem when re rooting after jb update an trying to use cwm.
My friend having seems red error. After downloading update. And as mentioned here it is xxla issue which has to be stocked.
One quick question though, do I need to just flash xxla radio and reboot or I have to unlock bootloader too?

This is only true if you installed busybox in /system/bin. You should NOT install it there. Installing it in /system/xbin will cause no issues, and it will work properly.
RIght, it seems my phone is rejecting all and any 4.1 OTAs and ROMs.
I have tried every combination of stock takju, yakju, OTA, ROMs, recovery, radios the lot.
My phone applies the update ok then when it starts it just sits in a boot loop getting hotter and hotter.
Does anyone know what the hell is going on and what it could be?
Or has anyone else had this problem?
I can happily flash stock Google images (4.0.4), 4.x.x ROMs no problem it just seems to be JB.
Thanks

Why dont you tell us what exact phone you have, and walk is through a typical ROM installation
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Try locking then unlocking the bootloader (this should wipe all your data off the phone!). Then flash stock factory images via fastboot. If you still can't boot after doing that then something is wrong with your phone physically.
if you don't have the drivers and fastboot setup:
drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875&highlight=naked+samsung
fastboot: http://www.modaco.com/topic/348161-01-feb-r4-superboot-rooting-the-gsm-lte-galaxy-nexus/ (just rename the fastboot and adb .exe's back to their original names w/o the -windows suffix).
factory images: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
edit: or use the toolkit that sarni84 mentioned below - if your not comfortable manually doing it via a command prompt.
Yes I would flash a stock image with the toolkit it should wipe everything it will suck but it seems like your problems are deeper. Then after flashing the 4.0.4 IMG use efrants guide to flash to new 4.1.1

I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus from the UK, the day i got it i flashed the factory 4.0.2 image from google to bring it to clean yakju.
When i download a ROM or anything firstly i check the md5, assuming thats all good i follow the install proceedure to the letter (wipe data, cache, dalvik if needed) I have flashed many ROMs on my Nexus as well as my previous S2 and Nexus S before that.
I have literally tried everything from clean install of factory 4.0.4 yakju and takju, lock and unlock boot loader, root and un-root, OTA and custom ROMs but nothing seems to work.
I have even tried restoring a friends nandroid of stock 4.1.1 android via CWM just to see if that works but nothing.
well... so why not stay with 4.0.4 yakju and just wait for stock ROM 4.1.1 yakju to be available and/or working OTA update? why going through all this hassle?

Sounds like something is broken or your nand flash is corrupted or bad. Probably best to RMA it considering you've tried everything that should have restored it if it wasn't broken.

I got the official OTA from our friends at google (i didn't do the framework services clear) it just came through.
i got the whole 145mb download, it verifies, reboots to the android guy with his front open, loads fine then on reboot, nothing, just the big X boot screen looping out.
It was after that didn't work that i explored the ROM route with the same results
Hey all,
I know this has been covered a lot of times before so please don't slate me for this post.
I had a generic IMEI 0049 after flashing a rom recently, after days of trying to fix it I got it sorted and back to the original IMEI I had when I bought the phone (factory image installed and a bit of teminal work on permissions.).
The only thing now is any time I flash any rom again the generic 0049 IMEI comes back again and using the fix I applied originally does not work anymore. Does anyone know why? I never thought that flashing a rom could change the IMEI.
Anyway I know the legalities of IMEI and XDA's policy on changing IMEI numbers etc but all I did was restore the IMEI that somehow got corrupted recently on my purchased Galaxy Nexus.
Basically if anyone has any views on why the IMEI changes each time I flash a rom it would be good to hear from you.
Thanks,
J

No just a GSM Europe one. Such a weird problem. I ended up just going back to stock, rooting and then applying the change again so my IMEI is the one it is supposed to be. I am sick because I have been flashing roms for years without issues.
The only thing I did do recently and I think this is where my IMEI problems started was installing a developer preview of Ubuntu OS. I ran it for an hour or two then installed Liquidsmooth rom.
For now I have to just stay rooted with stock because I will need the IMEI to be correct.
Does the imei number change if you just install twrp if it doesn't backup or stock uncorrupted efs and then restore it after flashing a new ROM

if you have an unlocked bootloader you can flash the stock images via fastboot. don't flash all together. Flash the bootloader then radio finally the image(make sure you remove the userdata.img from the image.zip). this is exactly what I did and I now have 4.3 and didn't lose a single bit of my app data.

You're seriously asking this? I didn't know we had google employees in xda. Why not just download the flash able image from the Google developers website and save time from making a post that's useless. Also someone can't make an OTA. Only google can.

Yeah, I wait and I wait and I wait. =) That's why I asked about this method.
But also with the OTA, there is a chance that is will not work to flash since there might be some stuff I have done to the /system.
That was the case the for me with the 4.2.2 update, and I needed to use the Google Factory Image, and reset my internal memory and all that (I didn'n know about methods to NOT reset the internal memory then).
Strange there are no flashable .zip's that are complete stock with only some kind of root added. Just stock, that should work to update to next version, like 5.0, with OTA then. Or is there?
EDIT: I found this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016452
Can someone please tell me if there was some new bootloader or radio or something like that, that I need to update more then using pure stock - odexed - UNTOUCHED?
